Principles of Variation of Energy Metabolism in Taenia Solium cysticerci

چکیده
Metabolites and enzyme activities involved in energy metabolism in Taenia solium cysticerci were determined systematically in vivo in order to illustrate the principles of variation of energy metabolism. Metabolites and enzymes determined included GLC, LAC, PEPCK, PK, LDH, SDH, ICD, XOD, ME, GDH, FR, ATPase, ACP, AKP, G6Pase and FE. The results showed that transport of substances, anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis, partial inversed tricarboxylic acid cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle, fat decomposing, amino acid decomposing, xanthine decomposing metabolism was almost the same as those in other helminthes, and the pathways of energy metabolism enhanced from immature state to mature state while the PK activities declined.

Genetic variation in the Cytb gene of human cerebral Taenia solium cysticerci recovered from clinically and radiologically heterogeneous patients with neurocysticercosis
Neurocysticercosis (NC) is a clinically and radiologically heterogeneous parasitic disease caused by the establishment of larval Taenia solium in the human central nervous system. Host and/or parasite variations may be related to this observed heterogeneity. Genetic differences between pig and human-derived T. solium cysticerci have been reported previously. In this study, 28 cysticerci were su...
متن کاملVaccination trials against Taenia solium eggs in pigs injected with frozen oncospheres of T. solium or Taenia saginata asiatica.
In this study, 12 Small-Ear-Miniature pigs aged 142 to 185 days were used to determine whether pigs injected with nonviable oncospheres of Taenia solium or Taenia saginata asiatica can become resistant to the challenge of viable eggs of T. solium. The 12 pigs were equally divided into 4 groups: 3 experimental groups in which each pig was injected subcutaneously with a mixture of 0.2 mL complete...
متن کاملIsozyme analysis of Taenia solium isolates from Mexico and Colombia.
Mexican and Colombian Taenia solium cysticerci and some species of Taenia adults were assayed using cellulose acetate electrophoresis to distinguish between isolates. Isozyme patterns for ARK, GOT, G3PD, GPI, and MPI were identical in all cysticerci suggesting homozygotic profiles. G6PD and MDH showed different patterns between Mexican and Colombian cysticerci, suggesting regional differences. ...

A study was performed in Piraquara, Parana, Brazil during 1994-1996 to evaluate the possibility of bovines participation in the epidemic chain of the Taenia solium. Six gravid segments of T. solium were obtained from a non medicated patient. Holstein bovines were infected with 40,000 eggs of T. solium. The infection rate was 100%. A total of 44 cysticerci were recovered: 18 (40.9%) alive and 26...
متن کاملInflammation Caused by Praziquantel Treatment Depends on the Location of the Taenia solium Cysticercus in Porcine Neurocysticercosis
BACKGROUND Neurocysticercosis (NCC), infection of the central nervous system by Taenia solium cysticerci, is a pleomorphic disease. Inflammation around cysticerci is the major cause of disease but is variably present. One factor modulating the inflammatory responses may be the location and characteristics of the brain tissue adjacent to cysticerci. We analyzed and compared the inflammatory resp...
